Sentinare Messaging Solutions Press Release
New E-mail Filtering Service Blocks 99.6% of Spam and 100% of Viruses
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 8AM EST, May 25, 2004
Santa Cruz, CA - Sentinare Messaging Solutions, an offsite provider of email security, announced the ability of their email-filtering product, PostGuard™, to block over 99.6% of spam and 100% of viruses.
The test was conducted over a six-month period and involved the filtering of over 5 million individual emails. Through an extensive set of highly customized algorithms PostGuard™ was able to effectively detect and quarantine over 99.6% of spam and all viruses that passed through its servers. "99.6% is significant considering 50 percent elimination of spam is standard for most popular products," stated Chris Paul, co-founder and CTO, Sentinare. "Focused on the small to mid-market, Sentinare filters email before it reaches your location, requires no installation of hardware or software, and is priced at around $2.00 per-user per-month."
The higher detection rates are welcome news for the thousands of organizations drowning in spam, which is now estimated to make up 70% of all email. According to Paul, "Ferris Research estimates spam cost U.S. corporations over $10 billion in 2003. The hit to productivity is enormous, especially for smaller companies. The accuracy of PostGuard™ has a two-pronged effect. First, it enables companies to focus on their business and not worry about email-borne threats. Second, PostGuard™ hurts spammers because they only get paid if their emails can reach recipients. If only 4 of 1000 emails get through, they don't have a very lucrative business."
Sentinare Messaging Solutions is a leading provider of e-mail security services for small business to enterprise. The company offers a complete suite of products including outsourced proxy email filtering, secure email hosting, and encrypted webmail.
